Health up and down, up this week so finalising a few threads of ideas. I find it hard to only think of one - have plenty of visuals on the ipad ready to go. Been tweeking some of the history landscapes this week before I paint. Have 4 canvas to prep, they need a couple of coats of absorbent ground, a lovely compound to paint on, so smooth and accepting of water based mediums. Also working on new birds from Sherbrooke Forest and a garden at Olinda that was full of lyrebirds. They have a political flavour - paint about what you know! The other thread is really just a thought, this year I will be able to move around in Spring. After spending the 2020-2021 blossom seasons in lockdown, hoping to get out of Melbourne and visit some lovely trees in flower. It’s my favourite time of year for reference photography, walking amongst the blossoms makes me truly euphoric.
